My Project

My students are in great need of audio recording equipment. This project will help support and enhance student's learning experiences and expose them to careers in digital music production. I am developing a recording studio to create an interactive space supporting literacy and technology instruction of students with special needs. The goal of the project is for students to create digital music projects that reflect their creativity, growth, and learning experiences and to make content that will be showcased in school events, publications, and portfolios.

Students are learning about careers and roles in media production.

A vocal recording booth is needed for students to record quality voiceovers, song lyrics, and podcasts. This will aid my students in developing their recording skills. They will have access to hands-on learning that will introduce them to careers in digital music such as music producer, audio engineer, and studio manager. Your donation will give students a voice, tools, and motivation that will also help them develop their writing and communication skills. Your support will empower my students to create, record, and produce original music, songs, podcasts, voiceovers, and audiobooks.
